Had one for almost 3 years, ran for over 200k miles & was still running well when I sold it. That V8 is a great motor, but I remember the gas mileage sucked (mine was full time AWD) & if you want the trans to last make sure to put it in neutral after you start it in the mornings for about 10-15 seconds before driving off (gets the fluids up in the trans before taking off -- trans was the jeeps weak spot)..... Nice DD!!, enjoy!
